Alright, here’s the beginning of the journey. Let’s start with just putting something on
the screen on this web page. First you’ll need to know what <tags> are.
XHTML code uses start and end tags to sort out what is going on with each element
of the page.
Here is an example of a start tag: <html>
Here is an example of an end tag: </html>
One has the element name enclosed in the pointy brackets and
the other is the same but has a slash before the element name.
IMPORTANT: You must close a tag after you open it at some point in the code. Also
tags must be nested, that is, meaning that you cannot do the following: <p> <body>
</p> </body>; it should be <body> <p> </p> </body>.
The best way to get to know how to program is by actually doing it, so enough
theory. Just for a point of reference, I’m going to label each line of code with a
number so that I can explain line by line what is going on.
‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’
1 <?xml version = "1.0 encoding = "utf-8"?>
2 <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
3 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
4 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
5 <body>
6 <p> Hello World, this is my first page! </p>
7 </body>
8 </html>
‘’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’
In line 1 I have stated the html code and in line 5 I have ended it. Inside the <html>
tag is the <body>, and inside the <body> there is a paragraph (line 3, <p>). If you
open this in a web browser, then you will see the following come across the screen:
If you want to change the title of the page from the browser’s point of view (eg.
firstpage.html) then you can easily add in the following line of code:
<title> Enter Title here </title>
This will make your webpage look more professional.
